Hi Kath Nice going all right well done. Not sure how you calculate the big specie to get your answer. Here is a link to what I use for calculating species. http://www.gold-nuggets.org/specific-gravity-test.htm In your example: SPECIE 1036 g DRY 716 g WET -------- 124.36 g [ 4.0 troy ounces ] This is how I would do it: Wet weight = 716 x 3.1 = 2219.6 Dry weight = 1036 x 1.9 = 1968.4 Balance = 2219.6 - 1968.4 = 251.2 grams or 8.077 oz So I reckon Kath that the big specie has about 8 oz of gold in it cheers dave |
